Angels-A's Game Delayed by Dislodged Outfield Wall Panel


The Oakland Athletics have to be hoping State Farm covers defective wall panels.

Monday night's game between the A's and the Los Angeles Angels was bizarrely delayed in the bottom of the fifth inning because of an issue with the O.co Coliseum outfield wall.  

Oakland's Danny Valencia hit a drive to the wall in left field, causing Los Angeles outfielder Shane Victorino to crash into the wall while trying to make the catch. Not only was Victorino unable to make the catch, but after he slammed into the wall, a panel also popped loose.  



The grounds crew went to work and tried to fix the wall as quickly as possible. After a 10-minute delay, the game resumed. The A's would go on to win the game, 11-5.

Rain delays are fairly common at MLB games. Wall-malfunction delays? Not so much.
